I'm sure I've said on here before mate, I'm not convinced by that theory either and you're right btw.
So true, I'm sticking with magical Uber being that my mind cannot comprehend clicking his fingers too turn the light on and his version of Alexa getting it really wrong.
Humans(some) can only accept what their minds can reason with...as if human reason is flawless...those amongst us with a bit more to us can comprehend the possibility of more init
When the human race can't even live in peace and harmony, we can never have the true perception of how irrelevant we are. It's like watching organic matter sticking itself on the compost heap. Whether you believe we will exist as a race for another 250 million years or 1 Billion years, we will eventually become extinct, wiped out, deader than a dead parrot. Well, unless we find some miraculous way to leave our galaxy and beyond, beam me up Scotty, if not, then the big bang theory and humans will just disappear with never a trace we were about - Earth is but a grain of sand in the grand scale of things, and even if we did find any answers, we might not like what we find, but not to worry, even Stephen Hawkins only gave us another thousand years on our current path, maybe he will come back as a reincarnation and save us, Hallelujah.
The Big Bang theory is a mathematical model extrapolated from Einstein's field equations, which has subsequently been supported by observation. The key observations being redshifting galaxies, discovered by astronomer Edwin Hubble, and the detection of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR). Red shifting shows the universe is indeed expanding, hence light from distant galaxies appears red as the wavelengths are stretched by a process similar to the doppler effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift CMBR is radiation that continues to resonate, from the moment the universe cooled enough to release photons of light from the hot plasma that characterised the initial conditions. It's an important source of all sorts of data. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_microwave_background Because looking outwards into space effectively means looking backwards in time (due to how long it takes light to reach us from distant galaxies), space telescopes like Hubble and JWST can literally see around 13.4 billion years into the past. Around 13.4 billion years ago the universe, the laws of nature, or God appears to have said "Let there be light." And there was light. Exactly as described in the third verse of the Book of Genesis.
The standard model of cosmology looks overdue for some major revision. There have always been anomalies with it, as there generally are with all scientific theories. Dark energy, the ongoing and as yet fruitless search for dark matter, the fine tuning problem, the missing monopole, the inexplicable uniformity and critical density, loads of stuff which continues to baffle astronomers and theoretical physicists. What usually happens with scientific anomalies is that they get left to one side until they are either resolved within the current paradigm, or the force a revolution in outlook and are replaced a completely new paradigm. Like when the Ptolemaic astronomical model, which had the earth at the centre of the universe, was replaced by the Copernican model, which recognised that the earth wasn’t even the centre of our own solar system. Are we on the brink of a similar scientific revolution? Perhaps we are; Stephen Hawking thought so, but he couldn’t quite see the way forward. His old collaborator Roger Penrose has constructed internally consistent mathematical models which have our universe as one tiny bubble on the mighty river of time, but there are as yet no observations to support the model.
Yeah I love it all because it's fascinating, sadly we will not be around for any of the answers, whatever they may be. I'm not even convinced by Professor Rajendra Gupta I just enjoy the fact he is challenging the current model of understanding. The question on my mind is would NASA along with it's partners tell us if the JWST found any of these answers, I assume they only release data as when they feel it appropriate. Thing is you can get really deep into this stuff and would we even like the answers, as the Universe is a very violent and inhospitable place, who knows what's out there....I sense an X Files moment coming on...
The concept of time is a mutherfuker really Time for us only exists from our perspective of it. Like someone said above looking further out into the universe is like looking back in time and Yeh okay cool makes sense from our perspective. Reverse the perspective and that distant point in the "past" is now actually the present. and back here in the now, is now actually the future from the current pasts perspective. You're all very welcome
You did tbf but what I want to know is what do you see, some blue shift? Some next gamma rays that prove something else? And how the fck did they know which way to look in the first place. It's like 360 degrees times 360 degrees. The universe is infinite the wider you look.
US astronomer Carl Sagan once remarked that, in terms of scale, we are situated midway between the atoms and the stars. When you look out, you see the stars; when you look inwards, you find the curious subatomic world, governed by quantum mechanics, where gravity doesn’t exist, and objects don’t follow consistent paths through time and space, but rather flicker in and out of existence.
